Directions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Mix all ingredients with a pastry cutter, except pecans and powdered sugar. Butter must be soft. Stir in pecans. Roll a tablespoon of dough into a ball, then into a "finger." Bend into crescent shape on the cookie sheet. Bake at 325 for 20-25 minutes. Cool then sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Self-rising flour can be used instead of flour, soda, and baking powder
